Six years after taking over the Packers, Ted Thompsons vision has been realized. Well, sorta.

My vision was to win six of them by now, Thompson said to laughter in a jubilant post-game Packers locker room.

The Packers G.M. didnt give away too much emotion, although he was quick with a few jokes. He got more serious when asked if this is especially satisfying because so many fans wanted him fired at times of his career.

I dont think in terms of that. I really dont, Thompson said. I think of whats best for the team right this second. Youd like for all of [the fans] to agree with you most of the time. But thats not the way it works. You cant run a team trying to be a politician, you cant try to get votes.

I asked Thompson if he had time yet to reflect on his own journey to top the NFL mountain.

That will come later, he said with a pause. This is such a resilient bunch. Im very proud of them.

Mike Sherman was always willing to go out and get the sexy player...Hadly Nickerson, Joe Johnson, Terry Glenn. It seemed like a great idea that appeased the fans, but the team was thin and if one of those players doesn't pan out or is injured, you're dancing on thin ice.

Ted has obviously been the antithesis of this and the team is ridiculously deep. When guys like Peprah, Quarless, Starks, Zombo, and Walden could all be BACK UPS next year, it just goes to show what a tremendous job of building a team that Ted has done.

Bravo!

Jolly, Neal, Grant, Burnett, Brad Jones, and Finley are all being ADDED to a defending Super Bowl Champion...I'm drooling for 2011 to start already!

Agreed, musccy. As I said in the room, it astounds me to think how many players who were starters -- or at least made significant contributions -- in this Super Bowl will probably be cut, waived, or traded away next year. The Packers will almost certainly lead the league again in players picked up by other teams. The depth on this team is mindboggling.

And to think that just a few short years ago most people wanted TT's head on a platter. LMAO!

I'm proud to say I've been behind Ted Thompson since the beginning, and that my posts here are the proof to reflect that. And I love that everybody, fans, coaches, and the man himself are now vindicated and on even ground with the last group who got us here.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

Other than a few questions here and there, I too have been in Ted's corner, so I'll go ahead and pat myself on the back now :)

I also give a lot of credit to him, Mike, and Aaron for taking the high road through the ENTIRE Burt ordeal, including last night.

"Brett Favre (Burt Farve) is a great quarterback for the Green Bay Packers," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "He'll be a great Packer for the rest of his life. But this is about passing the torch from one quarterback to the next, and Aaron's off to a heck of a start."

I'm making this a little to Favrey. Congrats to Ted for sticking to his guns and assembling one hell of a team!
